Abstract

This work shows briefly the planning followed in the subjects “Didactic”, “Innovation” and“Evaluation” in Physics and Chemistry owned to the Official Master ́s Degree in Teaching inSecondary Schools, Vocational Training and Language Centers from the University of Sala-manca.The main objective of the activities we program is for students to acquire the competences ofthe Master through active learning, turning the classroom into a laboratory where students aresometimes objects and others are the authors of the experience. The sessions are based in se-ries of experiments in Physics and Chemistry. A methodology is followed through the cultureof thought, fostering collaborative work, metacognition activities, mental maps, etc. It reflectsthe need to motivate the learning process, as well as to stimulate the creativity in future stu-dents. The sessions in the laboratory and the field trips cannot be absent from the activities.As a tool to measure physical magnitudes as well as to carry out and / or answer question-naires, different Smartphone applications are used.The degree of acquisition of competences is evaluated by asking students to publish theresults obtained in different virtual platforms such as on a YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwqaDfLBebKgdyTREtPl4mQ) in a personal blog of each student, orsimply in an individual notebook.This way of organizing the subjects, contributes to bring to the classroom the passion thatwe feel for Physics and Chemistry as teachers.
